OK and emergency details are on the fridge, if there is

any emergency or questions you need to ask just call me.

Yes, but I think I’ll be fine I can handle it

MRS RANI

(Sceptically)

Are you sure about that?

LILLY

Yeah, I do this all the time no problem I’ll be okay I

can handle just about anything.

MRS RANI

Ok, if you say so. I guess I’ll see you later. BYE IVY!

(To self)

I should probably check on Ivy

up the stairs.

Tilly makes her way up the stairs and goes into a room

where you can hear a girl playing with toys. Camera shot-

film the door with Lilly’s hand opening the door. She

opens the door to reveal a room with a girl in the middle

of the room surrounded by toys with her back to us.

with her toys, just the back of her we cannot see her

face.

LILLY

(Quietly)

Hey there

Camera Shot- camera shoots between the two

Ivy stops what she was doing and freezes

LILLY

Don’t worry it’s nothing. I just came to ask if you’re

okay

(no response)

(warily)

OK, if you need anything then call me I am downstairs. OK?

Camera shot- Show Lilly backing away a bit. Then shoot

the girl over the shoulder of Lilly.

(no response)

(Lilly sees dolly in the corner of the room)

Lilly slowly closes the door. The sound of Ivy playing

with her toys continues again

LILLY

(whispers)

She’s strangest one I’ve had so far.

Suddenly the noise of Ivy playing with her toys stops.

Tilly shrugs and makes her way down the stairs.
